Absolutely beautiful library. This is a massive private university library located on campus at…read moreNova Southwestern University in Davie. Although it's a private library, it is available to the public. My friend told me about this library as her middle school son volunteered here during the summer. She said it was really nice during the summer when it was quiet and they had the library to themselves. I went during the weekday last week. In the midst of back to school college students everywhere! Lol. They have security by the main entrance and college students are asked to scan their university IDs. All other guests will be let in by the guard. You must have a Broward County Libraries card to check out books at this location. The nice thing is, you can return the books to any Broward County Library and they will ship the book directly to Alvin Sherman Library. So convenient. When you walk into the library, the circulation desk is on the left, there is a computer working lab area on the right, and if you go straight, you'll find the children's book location, there are new books located on the spinning racks next to the stairs, and there is also a hidden bestseller books room located next to the circulation desk and entrance/exit. I believe there are four floors in this library. Tons and tons of tables and rooms for study areas for the college students. My favorite part about this museum is the Chihuly display on the second floor, they fancy! Another fascinating thing about this library, are the moving bookshelves! You heard me right. They have digital buttons where you can move the actual bookshelves. It's such a smart way to save space. Brilliant. Unfortunately, they don't have any Friends of the Library books for sale at this location. But the librarian did mention they have two big annual book sales per year. You can sign up for newsletter on their website. There are also two book returns at the roundabout outside of the library in case you don't want to park and get out of your car. There is a parking garage but you have to pay for parking using the park by mobile app. I believe it was $1.61 per hour. Students park for free with their NSU parking stickers.

When it was built, Young at Art Museum set the tone for this being a place for families to explore and learn. Then it changed to a library that seems to cater to teens and younger with the large area for all young people with magazines and computers to puzzles and a little play area with Legos for the littlest non readers. This building is quite large with multiple areas that are not fully utilized. There is some programming that can be booked online through the Broward County library system and there are rooms that can be rented out for meetings and after hour functions. The oitside spaces are also very nice although I believe it is slated to be renovated and turned into a different functional space. The staff seemed friendly and eager to assist. The Library was clean and very quiet and the parking lot was very easy to find parking. They even have some covered free parking and electric vehicle charges for the public.

Sat at a comfy chair in a secluded corner and read my Flash comic. The library is split between a teen/adult section and childrens section. Some decent magazines and dvd offerings too. There is an active book fair that had a large adult section of donated books for sale at $1 - $2. The librarian was very sweet. A food and clothing donation bins are at the front counter. Got an application for a FREE library card with proof of ID in Broward County. Parking was not an issue.

This library is managed by Broward County but is located in the City of Sunrise Complex; the…read morecomplex has the public safety building, city hall, senior center, and Civic center. Parking was spacious and staff were friendly. The library was large and organized. There are many events, just check out the website for details. There are study rooms, youth service program room, and meeting room. There are large collections of foreign print materials, CDs, and film. There plenty of reading materials; I love their paperless books via the Libby app. We specifically went there for the children's section which is on the smaller side. There was a small Lego set and some chairs. They offer many baby and toddler programs. Overall, a great library with many resources for people from all walks of life.

Occasionally a book will come out and I can only get the hard copy, when that happens I come to this branch. The library was closed for a few months for some remodeling, but I didn't notice any huge changes when I visited today. This business is located amongst a couple of other city of Sunrise government businesses. The library has a dated look, but seems to be otherwise clean and kept up. There are a couple of sections with some comfier chairs. The library was fairly quiet when I quickly visited mid-day. When we lived in Northern California our library was a popular hangout for the homeless population, but this place was much emptier. They do have some computers available for public use. You can also pay to have some Items printed. There is a sizable section of DVDs to rent. They also have a couple of quiet study rooms, some magazines and a new book section. I recommend going online and reserving your books ahead of time. It's free to use the library, so I can't really complain too much.

Security not only gives you a menacing look when you walk in, they also have to walk by the computers every now and then and look at your screen I mean come on! Not only is that an invasion of privacy, what could you possibly be looking for? I thought libraries could control what people could search for and block certain content?. Seriously, no other library I've been to has ever done that. I was very upset about this. Not enough chairs to sit in to study. WiFi connection is great though, I'll give them that. Personally, I'll stick to North Campus library instead. I'd suggest you make an extra trip to a better library with more books, more computers, and no security guards all up in ya business!

I stopped by the Tamarac branch library to pick up a dvd I had placed on hold. The dvd could have…read morebeen sent to a library branch closest to me, but I didn't mind the drive. It was a very large space with many organized shelves displaying a vast genre of books, dvds, cds, and audio books. There were plenty of computers, seats, and table seating throughout, which gave it a functional feel. If you want more privacy, you can request a quiet room. After picking up the dvd from the hold section, I walked around and chose a few more movies to watch. I wish I could borrow some cds, but my vehicle is not equipped with a cd player. Oh how I miss those good old days. Venturing to other Broward County libraries are interesting. Despite the world's shift toward digitalization, it is appreciated that the libraries are still offering their resources to the community.

I'm not crazy and my memory serves me right! Not only have I reviewed my neighborhood library, but…read moreI have posted wonderful photos too. This is the closest library to home and we have come here for nearly two decades. They have made great strides at keeping it clean inside and out. The books (including a Spanish language collection), reading materials and DVD selection is well organized. In addition to the 100-seat room for meetings, they have a computer room for adults with space for a couple dozen people. Years ago, I spent many hours there and it was quiet enough that you could flow in your thoughts to write. Moreover, they've added computers so more children can work on iReady and play educational games. There isn't a time I've walked in here that there aren't a number of tutors helping children and adults alike. The staff is helpful and there is a guard who assists them, which is an added bonus in the afternoons when the students from the nearby Middle/High School start coming in. In addition to the parking spaces in the front (facing Commercial Blvd.), there is parking in the side and rear of the lake that divides the library from the Tamarac Community Center. Following are their hours of operation: Monday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday: CLOSED
